I have known Angela for almost 4 years and she is an awesome kid. I can't wait to see where she goes in life. We enjoy cooking and baking together, doing crafts, berry picking, and much more! BBBS helps kids reach their full potential. I will do my best to be a mentor to Angela and continue to encourage her! There are so many other kids in the capital region who still need mentors, and your financial contribution is a big help! If you have been looking for a way to give back to the commuity, and you want to build a wonderful relationship, I highly recommend becoming a Big!

About Ignite Something Big

Ignite Something Big is all about providing the life-changing impact of mentoring and bringing that opportunity to more kids throughout the Capital Region. We can all think of mentors who have given us the tools to grow into the people we are today. Where would you be without that person? Some communities do not have access to an information network of mentors. That’s where you come in. You can bring caring mentors into children's lives. Mentors help them think about their futures, make healthy choices, and create positive relationships. When you make a donation of any size, it changes lives.
